THERE was cause for celebration for children and staff at Chatburn Pre- School when they were informed they had gained “Investors in Children” status. Staff at the school based in Sawley Road,


put together an excellent presentation in April this year in their bid to be accepted on the Lancashire Quality Kitemark scheme. After facing a nail-biting three months,


they were informed last week that they were one of the 40 successful groups throughout the whole of Lancashire to have been accepted on the pilot scheme. The project values and promotes high


quality care and education and has been designed as a self-evaluation tool, which encourages reflective practice and increas­ es the confidence levels of practitioners. Mrs Judith Smalley, one of the partners


at the school, said: “We are very pleased that Chatburn Pre-School has won this prestigious award. The assessors were par­ ticular impressed by the high standards of services offered at the premises. “We always provide remarkable child­


care and are delighted that our hard work and commitment has finally been officially recognised.” Altogether there are five


members of staff at the building, who cater for children aged between two and five. Having received a well-deserved pat on


their backs, Thomas Entwistle is pictured with fellow pupils and staff at the pre­ school. (C240604/9)

INCLEMENT weather run­ ning up to and on the two mornings of Bolton-by-Bow- land and Grindleton’s open gardens weekend did its best to make life difficult for gardeners and visitors alike. Fortunately, it did not deter the


hundreds of visitors who turned out to see the 32 gardens involved in the successful “Through the Garden Gates Event”. They came from far and wide to


view the gardens and were very appreciative of the effort and hard work of the gardeners. As usual, the village organisations were all represented in the floral displays in St Peter and St Paul’s Church.


Each arrangement depicted a


hymn and all were admired by vis­ itors for their beauty and ingenu­ ity.


The ladies of the parish did a


sterling job in the village hall serv­ ing refreshments and manning the craft and plant stalls. They were a little anxious when


they heard that a certain TV chef, notorious for his colourful lan­ guage, had been seen in the next garden to the Village Hall! The weekend culminated in a


“Floral Songs of Praise” in St Peter and St Paul’s to give thanks to God for all his wonderful cre­ ation and for the plants and gar­ dens that we enjoy. The Rector welcomed the


Haslingden Choir, who sang sever­ al pieces including John Rutter’s


“All Things Bright and Beautiful” and the Negro spiritual “Every Time I Feel the Spirit”. There were readings from the


Bible and also poetry and prose, the readers being churchwardens Jeanne Bishop and Geoffrey Curry and Keith Garside, Sue Lund and Marion Billows. The service was led by the Rec­


tor, Canon David Mewis. As well as opening their own


garden, the Rectory family was responsible for producing all the notices, posters and programmes and for co-ordinating the success­ ful weekend. Our picture shows Mrs Joyce


Lilburn, one of the many garden­ ers who opened their gardens for the “Through Country Garden Gates” event. (B040704/1)

TWO Clitheroe pals have donned their running shoes as they prepare for this year’s Great North Run - the biggest half marathon. Father-of-two Stephen Frankland (40), of


Ennerdale Road, along with friend Suzanne Davis (36), of Warwick Drive, will pound the streets of Newcastle in September, along with thousands of other entrants to raise money for the local branch of Friends of Chernobyl’s Chil­ dren. In a bid to tackle the 13-mile run, the couple


have adopted a tough exercise regime, a healthy diet and scrapped alcohol altogether. The tireless fund-raisers also hope to tackle the London Marathon next year. The pair are hoping to raise as much as


money as possible and if anyone is interested in sponsoring them, they should call 01200 422953. Our picture shows children from Belarus dur­


ing their annual visit to Clitheroe, along with super-fit buddies Stephen and Suzanne, prepar­ ing to take on the gruelling challenge for chari­ ty. (B250604/2)
